Smithtown Middle Schoolers Caught Being Kind

Great Hollow Middle School students were "Caught Being Kind" in September and October.

SMITHTOWN, NY - From Smithtown Central School District: Great Hollow Middle School in the Smithtown Central School District recently implemented a “Caught Being Kind” student recognition program. The school improvement team launched the program this year as a way to promote and enhance student’s behavior and sense of community.

Staff members who observe a kind act submit the student’s name for recognition. Students are awarded a certificate, a free popcorn coupon during the school’s monthly PTA popcorn Friday, a “Caught Being Kind” custom pencil and a photo with administrators that is shared online.
